From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

First Division Reading, who registered a 2-0 victory over Birmingham at home on Saturday, look bankers at 4-9 with the Tote to make short work of Third Division Cardiff City in their FA Cup fourth-round replay tomorrow night.

Sheffield United have a 71 per cent strike rate at home in the First Division this season. They look a solid wager at 10-11 with Ladbrokes to beat Ipswich in their FA Cup fourth-round replay at Bramall Lane. Ipswich's away strike rate in the First Division is only 27 per cent this term.

Wolves have a 64 per cent strike rate in the First Division at home this term and, at 6-5 with Ladbrokes, are fairly priced to dispatch Charlton in their FA Cup fourth-round replay at Molineux. Charlton's away strike rate is in the First Division is only 33 percent this term.

On Wednesday, Barnsley (6-4 with William Hill, Ladbrokes and the Tote) will - despite only a 36 per cent strike rate at home in the Premiership this season - fancy their chances of knocking out Tottenham, who have a dreadful eight per cent strike rate away in the Premiership this term, in their FA Cup fourth-round replay at Oakwell.

Newcastle United (1-6 with Coral, Ladbrokes and the Tote) should finally make class count over Stevenage in their FA Cup fourth-round replay at St James' Park.
